The effect of mixing speed of a batch mixer on the properties of liquid crystalline polymer/polyethylene terepthalate (LCP/PET) blends is investigated through two techniques: scanning electron micrographs to examine morphological changes, and tensile testing to determine the mechanical property depe

Abstract
The basic objective of this article is to improve the polymer blend properties by changing mixing sequence. Blending of two elastomers does not lead to a molecularly homogeneous blend (true solution), but to a heterogeneous system in which both polymer phases are present. In this article, the detailed study of heterogeneous distribution of carbon black as well as blend inhomogenity and the physicomechanical including dynamic mechanical properties of the blend has been carried out. The choice of the blend was natural rubber/polybutadiene rubber as 85:15. Heterogeneous carbon black distribution study was also performed in differential scanning calorimeter.
